wbmw, the 2.2 NW does NOT beat the XP2000+ in most benches, it beats it in quite a few but not most. Most would imply the vast majority but I think they may be split 60/40 at this point. Most means greater in number. 51/49 would be most. EP

Constantine, Re: "the 2.2 NW does NOT beat the XP2000+ in most benches" Here's my tally at Anand's (if the difference is less than 2%, it is a tie - would you agree?). Winstone 2002: Tie SysMark 2001 Overall: Pentium 4 by 3.8% AutoCAD Total Index: Athlon XP by 4.4% Maya Rendering: Tie 3D Studio Rendering: Athlon XP by 3.0% Mpeg4 Encoding: Penitum 4 by 6.2% MP3 Encoding: Tie Quake III: Pentium 4 by 7.8% WTCW: Pentium 4 by 2.0% Serious Sam: Athlon XP by 17.1% Pentium 4 wins four tests, while the Athlon XP wins 3, and 3 are a tie. It's a close match, but the Pentium 4 wins. From Tom's Hardware (again, less than 2% means a tie). Quake III: Pentium 4 by 4.6-14.5% 3DMark 2000: Athlon XP by 2.2% 3DMark 2001: Tie LAME MP3: Pentium 4 by 3.0% FlasK Mpeg: Pentium 4 by 7.3% Sandra Dhrystone: Athlon XP by 6.5% Sandra Whetstone: Pentium 4 by 17.0% Sandra Integer MMX: Tie Sandra FP SIMD: Athlon XP by 6.5% Sandra Memory: Pentium 4 by 62.1-96.5% Lightwave 7b: Pentium 4 by 56.1% SysMark 2001: Tie Linux Compile: Athlon XP 13.4% Data Compression: Pentium 4 by 7.7% Lightscape OpenGL: Penitum 4 by 4.8% Mpeg2 Encoding: Pentium 4 by 8.1% Cinema4D: Pentium 4 by 6.4% Cinema4D: Athlon XP by 6.1% Pentium 4 wins 10 tests, while the Athlon XP wins 5, and 3 are a tie. It seems that Pentium 4 wins more definitively, here. Anyway, there are more reviews, and I'm sure you can find the same result. The Pentium 4 wins the majority of the tests every time. wbmw
